Wiley, a New York-based portrait painter best known for his attention to detail when it comes to capturing African-American figures, presented Lee with his own custom imagery at The Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo. In true-to-art fashion, Lee was painted standing tall wearing a tradition big-game hunter’s uniform, holding an axe while standing in the brush.

Lee has been celebrating anniversaries on some of his most revered films such as Crooklyn and Do the Right the Thing as of late and it night of honor just added another medal on his mantle.

Joining in on the festivities were Think Like a Man Too actor Michael Ealy, Boardwalk Empire’s Michael K. Williams, Q-Tip, and New York Giant wide receiver Victor Cruz among others.
